Ok today I got a text from a very reputable big chain salon. They are offering a whopping 50% discount on ALL treatments through December right up untill Christmas eve!!
To say I was worried is an understatement. Now there are many angles to this of late people have been complaining about this place not as well run etc but I know many clients are going to choose this salon on the run up over Christmas purely on price. A very good nail tech said to me the other day that she looses business every time this salon runs a stupid offer and then the following month she has to sort out bad nails!
Thankfully I have some very loyal clients booked in over the Christmas period but I know I am going to loose quite a few because of this as there is no way I can compete with the price this salon will be doing spray tans for.
Sorry for the rant just so annoyed as yet again a big chain is putting pressure on small businesses!
